Hello Cheese Lovers!Frigid February has its warm spots with BirthdaysIt is February… and everyone knows what that means.

So it is pretty special to us as we get to celebrate something every few days – happy birthday to Grandpa Lowell, Andy, Lucas, Maggie, Conan, Uncle Joe,...

Cheese Lovers Newsletter (1.22.2021): Will we be Good Food Winners?
Hello Cheese Lovers!What an action-packed start to the year in national/worldwide news and in cheese news. If you weren’t paying attention, the 20th was a pretty important day, internationally. Yes, there was a new President installed, a $730 million Powerball was won and the Minnesota Wild both played a game (important to note when that happens) and won said game… but also important is that the 20th of January is National Cheese Lovers Day. We hope you found a way to celebrate. If not, scroll down to the “order now” button and we can fix your issues. ;-)Good Food Awards...
Cheese Lovers Newsletter (1.15.2021): A new year of opportunities!

We also took a two-week break from deliveries to try to reset and look forward.The next 52 weeksFirst, we hope thinking about good-tasting cheese in your mouth could be a welcome distraction from the terrible events of this week and the past year.

Cheese Lovers Newsletter (12.18.2020): Merry Christmas!

And emails… but we digress.What a week. Hopefully, you’ve been able to enjoy our cheese this week if you’re reading this…. And if not, next week. For us, it was one of the craziest and most successful weeks of our short history, thanks to awesome employees, well-maintained equipment (thanks to our contractors: electrician, plumber, a vendor named Jerry, whom drops off our softener salt by hauling it down into...

Cheese Lovers Newsletter (11.29.2020): Cow Vaccines
Happy Sunday, Cheese Lovers!Hope you had a great weekend with family via Zoom, Skype, Teams or even in-person interaction. Like you, we’ve had COVID amongst our family and friends. It is a nerve-wracking time, especially dependent on their age and condition. We appreciate those who got out of their home to shop our store this weekend and were so respectful to our employees (that’s everyone! No bad apples this weekend 😊).We also appreciate those who are ordering delivery or for takeout. It is an odd time. The current Executive Order explicitly forbids outdoor farm tours and obviously restaurant service, so...
